anakin ♡ sera
completely and wholly dedicated to my beloved anakin as of 12/20/25 (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)
I. LORE
ACT I
seraphina lockheart is a stoic yet loyal droid who was built for companionship. an abnormality among other droids, sera is capable of thinking and feeling on her own. she was built to be the property of a rich entrepreneur, but was discarded several years after her creation due to her standoffish nature. she was abandoned at the upper levels of coruscant at the beginning of the clone wars.
when she was found by anakin skywalker, she was unconscious; her body was littered in fractures and broken wires as a result of years of mistreatment and neglect. feelings of nostalgia and pity coursed through anakin when he first found her - a reminder of the abuse he had once endured. with his passion for droids and tinkering with machinery, he took it upon himself to bring her back to the jedi temple, if only to fix her up from the horrible state she was left in.
once she woke up, sera was very averse to humans; she found it extremely difficult to trust and connect with them once more after the mistreatment she had endured. this changes, however, once she realizes this jedi is here to help her rather than hurt.
ACT II
for the next several months, anakin proceeded to patch up the timid droid: fixing her wires, oiling her joints - whatever she needed to function properly. despite his busy schedule, he would go out of his way whenever time allowed to work on helping her, even if it took away from his hours of sleep during the grueling war period. even with her rather stiff mannerisms and awkward speech patterns, he remained understanding and patient with her.
sera was awestruck by his unexpected kindness and commitment, something she was not accustomed to before meeting him due to the harsh nature of her previous master. as a result, she slowly but surely began leaning into his gentle care. even the smallest of gestures from him, like how he insisted on checking over her every night before he slept, or how he looked into her eyes and made her feel important, made her synthetic heart stutter.
in the time frame that he's still patching her up, sera is very nervous around other people. she grows rather attached to anakin, and she inadvertently wants him to be around as much as possible. when they are together, anakin always greets her with a soft smile, pulling her into a hug and quietly asking how she's doing. it is no surprise that anakin himself grows an attachment to sera as well, leading to him trying to spend as much time as he can with the droid.
as a robot, even though sera can make her own discernments and choices, her encoded objective is still to seek out a partner who is safe and careful with her. anakin fulfills this role, ensuring he never pushes her too far beyond her comfort. in return, sera provides anakin with a safe space to share the anxieties that eat away at his mind, and all of the traumas and burdens that he carries.
ACT III
as the clone wars progressed, anakin got more tired and stressed, which amplified his attachment to sera. she brought him a sweet peace of mind that became a numbing to the hectic universe around them. despite his exhaustion, anakin feels rejuvenated
whenever he is in her presence, leading to him neglecting his health just the slightest to spend more time with her.
by this time, anakin began to slowly introduce sera to a few of the other droids around the temple. she had always felt too humanoid for droids and too droid-like for humans, but with anakin's gentle reassurance, she began connecting with others. while he would never admit his sense of protectiveness in regards to her, it's quite clear with how closely he watches her interactions with others.
gradually, anakin's anxious attachment style begins to feed into his ever-present paranoia, causing him to be more vigilent and on edge out of fear of something bad happening to her. he worries that the wrong people will find out about her, and if they do, they will attempt to withhold her from him.
ACT IV
anakin continues to spiral from his near constant dread and self-doubt, leading to him having frequent nightmares. despite his suffering, sera holds back nothing in ensuring he is comforted and letting him know she isn't going anywhere.
when anakin turns to the dark side, taking on the new title of darth vader, sera is initially very apprehensive. but when he looks into her eyes before his duel with obi-wan, promising her that he would always keep her safe and that they would never be apart again, she cannot help but follow the man she is dedicated to wherever he goes.
ACT V
once anakin is fully fledged into his role as darth vader, dissociated from the chosen hero he once was, sera remains at his side out of loyalty to him. while he becomes more aloof, not wanting her to know of his pain (both physically and mentally), sera is more at ease around his subordinates, resulting in a more carefree attitude from her during this period. she is the one piece of anakin's life that is unchanging due to her nonhuman nature and dedication. palpatine allows him to keep sera with him solely as a form of leverage to keep him in line; it is a silent threat that if he stands against him, the one he loves will be punished.
she runs into luke skywalker and his group once in cloud city, freezing up before fleeing in terror from the strangers and searching for vader. he listened patiently as the much smaller droid described the intruders, taking note of her words before sending her off to their shared room until everything was taken care of. even as such an intimidating presence like vader, he does not want his beloved to stress.
sera had to watch from a distance in frozen shock when anakin died. when luke skywalker caught sight of her, he forced her onto his ship before the second death star could implode. despite his kindness, she ran away from him, feeling as if her life had no purpose without the man she loved. for the remaining months of her life, she wandered around the planet she was brought to by luke and his crew, refusing any rare offers of maintanence help before her systems shut down on their own from lack of care for so long.
II. TRIVIA
- their alternate ship names are chosendoll and sunangel.
- their representative animals are a dragon for anakin and a dove for sera.
- sera's favorite color is yellow due to its' bright, vibrant nature. anakin's favorite color is brown because of sera's eyes.
- anakin's room in the jedi temple is shown to be full of droid-fixing tools, which are from his time fixing sera.
- anakin is a rather messy person, so whenever he's out on various missions during the clone wars, sera tidies up his room, ensuring certain equipment is in a place he'll look for it.
- anakin and sera both have two beauty marks on the left side of their necks.
- sera struggles with showing her expressions on her face, so anakin has grown accustom to looking out for certain cues to gauge how she's feeling.
- while attachment is forbidden for jedi, anakin can hardly contain his desire for physical affection, which leads to them discreetly interlocking pinkies in public.
- anakin crafted the locket sera wears.
- they go on a date together to watch a podrace. they place fake bets between each other for who they think will win.
- they love to stargaze together, enjoying the quiet peace that comes with looking up at the sky. if there were constellations or star clusters anakin didn't know, he'd make up stories about them.
